Jesse's HSC bootcamp, HSC study skills

"Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming"

John Wooden(legendary college basketball coach)

Are you keen to do well in your HSC but lacking motivation and focus?

Do you work better without the distractions of home?

Would you like support in setting goals and have someone to be accountable to?

The FergHSC study boot camp was created with the sole goal of helping students to maximise their efforts in the final weeks of their HSC campaign so when they walk out of their final HSC exam they can hold their head up high knowing that they did their best. With 50% of the ATAR still up for grabs how a student finishes their HSC campaign is extremely important to their final results but also in terms of their own personal development.

In these final stages of the HSC the only way to prepare for the final HSC exams is to be attempting at least one exam style task under exam conditions per day(preferably more than this). If you are not completing exam style questions in these final weeks you are simply not in the game and will be overtaken by the students who are. At each Bootcamp session students will be required to complete a minimum of one exam style response under exam conditions.

The Study Boot camp is run by Jesse Gardiner (B.Business UTS), a passionate motivator and mentor to students, and will involve students conducting their own study or preparation for the Trial HSC Exams in a positive environment with other students. If students need support with their work our teachers and tutors will be on hand to assist them with specific problems as well as general study tips.

Each student will complete a goal setting workbook that can be used as a point of reference as students head into the Trial Exams and the Final HSC exams.

Students who attend the Study Bootcamp will:

Improve study patterns
Increase motivation
Set goals for the final stage of their HSC
Advanced and Standard English introductory paragraph mini exams each session
Increase the effectiveness of study time
Have the opportunity to join and request topic specific mini classes

There is strict enforcement of "No YouTube" and "No Facebook" . Students will be closely monitored to ensure that they are working effectively and on task. Over the course of the 3 days we will have different teachers and tutors in the office to assist students with the study/work they are doing.

Students wishing to attend Boot camp must attend all 4 sessions. Please note that if we do not reach 20 participants at the final Study Bootcamp it will be cancelled.

What happens at each bootcamp session?

Each day begins with a short 'pep' talk and a reminder of why they are studying and working hard

Daily "to do" lists are issued to students for them to fill out so as to keep them focused and task orientated

Students spread out across 4 of our rooms at our Bondi Junction tuition centre and start to work through their daily "to do" list.

Students take short breaks as needed

Students who are struggling for motivation will have one on one pep talks to get them back on track.

At the conclusion of the session students can leave knowing that they have completed a solid session of work.
